not very useful if you want fully threaded news reading though, but useful
enough if you are searching for an article with a particular subject
header or a particular sender, etc...

For emulating a threaded news index most of us just type:

	$	... Sort
	O	... by OrderedSubject

This sorts articles in the index first by Subject text and then, if
articles have equeal subjects, by Date.  This gives a pretty good
emulation of threading.

(Apologies if you already knew about this!)

Cheers,
